PEKKU at North Edinburgh Arts
SATURDAY 26th JULY at 12 NOON
Shh… What’s that noise? A squeak? A squeal? A bird? It’s getting louder. Oh dear… Pekku takes a playful look at what happens when you want to be left alone and others have a different idea.
Ahead of a run at the Festival Fringe Festival, Red Bridge Arts are delighted to share a preview of their newest show PEKKU, with North Edinburgh Arts audiences. It’s a new show for 3-6 year olds (and their adults) by Andy Manley, Ian Cameron & Shona Reppe.
Co-commissioned by Red Bridge Arts, ROHM Theatre and Ricca Ricca Festival, and Produced by Red Bridge Arts.
We hope you can join this sharing for families!
